NUS Application - College of Humanities and Science, how does it work ?
Applicants intending to major in Life Sciences would only need to indicate “Humanities and Sciences” as one of their single degree programme choices in the admissions application form. After they have successfully been admitted into the “Humanities and Sciences” programme, they would be able to declare Life Sciences as their primary major no later than the fifth semester of study. Those who do not have the subject prerequisites needed to do so would be required to first read relevant bridging courses in Biology/Chemistry.
SUTD Requires References from all applicants - they have their own set of questions for referees to answer. Applicants will include the referee's email address in their application form. Once they submit their application, an email will be sent to the referee.
Students may upload their school testimonial in addition to this too.
